Tata Communications and Middle Eastern Operators to Work With Tyco Telecommunications on the Strategic TGN Gulf Cable Project

Tata Communications Continues its Commitment to Growth in the Middle East

DUBAI, February 23, 2010 - Tata Communications and its Partners today announced that Tyco
Telecommunications, will be constructing the TGN Gulf cable system.

Tata Communications' partners in the TGN Gulf project, namely
Bahrain Internet Exchange in the Kingdom of Bahrain, Nawras of Oman, Qatar
Telecom of Qatar, Mobily of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Etisalat of the
United Arab Emirates will each be an exclusive landing party for the TGN Gulf
Cable System. Tata Communications and its partners intend to build on this
cable project as part of strategic relationships that will support the
development of an extended portfolio of advanced telecommunications services
such as Global Ethernet, MPLS based VPN, Managed Security, IaaS
(Infrastructure as a Service) and Global Telepresence. All these services are
ideally suited to support both local and global enterprises, which are very
active in this rapidly expanding emerging market region.

The announcement was made at a gala event in Dubai hosted by
Tata Communications and attended by representatives of the partners as well
as Tyco Telecommunications. At the event, Tata Communications unveiled its
commitment to the Middle East region by earmarking around $200 million for
the development of its telecom operations in the region over the next two
years.

The TGN Gulf cable build announcement partnering with this
prominent group of operators, supported by the investment commitment
underscores Tata Communications strategic intent to participate and assist in
the rapid development of the region.

Vinod Kumar, President and COO of Tata Communication, said:
"We firmly believe in the growth potential and increasing dynamism in the
Middle East region. This conviction translates tangibly into investments that
will increase our infrastructure and services coverage throughout the region.
Most importantly, this is steered by the strong foundational partnerships
that we have formed with leading Middle Eastern operators. We see the Middle
East as a crucial building block in our Emerging Markets strategy and in
delivering the "new world of communications" to our global enterprise
customers. Along with our partners, we are confident of creating sustained
mutual benefits while serving global and Middle Eastern companies with a
unique service portfolio."

This new state-of-the-art cable system, on which work began during
October 2009 and which will be completed during 2011, will connect the region
to the rest of the world via the Tata Global Network (TGN) providing reliable
high speed bandwidth to all the key cities of the world. The TGN Gulf Cable
System, acting as a gateway to the TGN network, will provide a new dimension
to the infrastructure and unique service capabilities of each of the
partners. Using its own cable station, each party will have access to a new
high-speed route to the globe and at the same time add much needed resilience
and diversity to the infrastructure in each country. The capacity will also
help to support the continued expansion in broadband penetration, Internet
usage and enterprise applications in each market.

Radwan Moussalli, Tata Communications' Managing Director for
the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), said: "We are proud to bring a much
needed resilient cable system to the Middle East region in association with
Bahrain Internet Exchange, Nawras, Qatar Telecom, Mobily and Etisalat. We are
extremely happy to be partnering with all of them in the interest of further
developing this region. Tata Communications commits to not only this
investment, but also to bring expertise, resources and a world class team in
support of all our partners as we introduce the state of the art global
telecom services to the region."
